For those of you who celebrate it, there’s no need to remind you about what’s coming up later this month. Already, the shops are festooned with festive Christmas decorations, and it’s time to think of that perfect gift for your loved one. And nothing says “I love you” to a woman more than a diamond.

Meanwhile, we take a look back at last month’s 18th Tatler Ball, where our good friends, VVIP guests, and even a royal couple enjoyed spectacular sights, sounds, and a scrumptious meal. If you weren’t there, don’t worry: we’ve collated a photo-led section devoted to this most desirable of social events. At this point, I’d also like to thank all of our sponsors, who made the event both possible and worthwhile, and to thank all those who participated in the auction that night and in the silent auction that followed. In total, we have already raised more than Rp305 million for the Maria Lukito Foundation, aimed at giving the young ones a leg up in their educational lives.
This time of year is one in which many of us give our time, love, energy, and money to help out those less fortunate than ourselves.
